Hey guys this is my first post an although my profile says I own an Element, I do not, but it is one of the ones I'm considering. I live in NJ and have not found many deals nearby so have been traveling upstate and to NY to check out elements. So here's my dilemma:
2004 Element EX with 51,905 miles for 11,250 from a dealer. This dealer is out of state and would charge me In transit to register the car. Plus tax, obviously.
The other is a 2005 Element LX with 44,000 miles from a private seller in my own state for the exact same price $11,250.
The differential in mileage isn't much of a worry as I've heard these babies will last 200,000 K or more possibly. I am just curious if you guys have any helpful info that could contrast the difference between the two years for me. Also, I know the differences for the most part between the LX and EX trims and really enjoy the features of an EX but would settle for an LX possibly that's newer and with less mileage.
Both are original owners and I know the 2004 has a clean car fax, not sure about the 2005.
Thank you guys so much for the help, I'm just so torn
